Toshiba’s premiere POS Software Solution. Visit booth #9260 at the

Toshiba
VisualTouch is a complete point of sale system that provides the
advanced POS functionality needed for business management. VisualTouch
POS is used in the Hospitality, Food Service, Grocery, Retail and
Concession industries with a combined install base of more than 6,000
unique customers and some customers having up to 1,600 locations each.
VisualTouch will use BitPay’s POS-integration solutions to grow bitcoin
acceptance through brick-and-mortar retail locations that may have not
considered bitcoin acceptance in the past.

“This partnership greatly expands the number of businesses that will now
be able to accept bitcoin. BitPay is extremely excited about the
relationship and the opportunity to expand the Toshiba VisualTouch
solution to include bitcoin,” said Tony Gallippi, Executive Chairman of
BitPay.

“We are truly excited to announce our partnership with BitPay in order
to bring enhanced capabilities to our current customers and entice new
business through our combined leadership in this field,” said Marius
Kimel, President of Visual Information Products, the developers of
Toshiba VisualTouch.

The partnership announcement is officially being announced at the National
Restaurant Association’s 2014 show in Chicago. The partnership
propels VisualTouch’s offerings in front of over 2,000 exhibitors in 900
product categories. Many of these restaurants, food trucks, and catering
services will be able to implement bitcoin in their POS system in an
easy and streamlined manner. The partnership ensures the continued
growth of bitcoin acceptance as VisualTouch becomes used by an
increasing amount of businesses.

Gallippi also said, “The ability for customers to use bitcoin at
businesses with VisualTouch POS systems provides merchants an extremely
loyal customer base who will go out of their way to support companies
that accept bitcoin.”

BitPay has over 30,000 clients including TigerDirect, The NBA’s
Sacramento Kings, WorldPress, Virgin Galactic, Shopify and Gyft.
BitPay’s dedication to developing the Bitcoin platform and ecosystem has
resulted in the opportunity to work with established brands like Toshiba
VisualTouch.
